Alliant BE-86 Smokeless Pistol Powder 1 lb

The Alliant BE-86 is a smokeless pistol powder engineered for clean, consistent performance across the most popular handgun cartridges. Packaged in a 1 lb canister, BE-86 meters exceptionally well through both progressive and single-stage presses, giving reloaders tight, repeatable charge weights and stable velocities round after round. Alliant built this propellant with superior lot-to-lot consistency, so handloaders can develop and stick with reliable load data session after session.

BE-86's principal purpose is handgun loads, and it truly shines in that role. It is especially well-suited for 9mm Luger and .40 S&W, two of the most widely shot defensive and practice cartridges in the country. According to Alliant's published Reloader's Guide, BE-86 also carries tested recipes for 10mm Auto, .357 Magnum, .357 SIG, .38 Special, .38 Special +P, .38 Super Auto +P, .380 Auto, and .41 Rem. Magnum, making it a versatile pick for reloaders who load across multiple pistol chambers. The powder's clean burn and flexible velocity range make it a favorite for everything from range plinking to serious defensive practice.

Alliant is one of the most recognized names in handloading, and BE-86 continues the company's tradition of delivering a high-quality propellant. The 1 lb canister is an ideal size for the casual reloader or anyone looking to try the powder before committing to a larger jug. This product is classified as hazardous for both air and ground shipment.
